Ascent of Mount Democrat in 1998-06

Ascent Trip Report

This was the first mountain of three my dad and I traversed (Lincoln, then Bross) only a few days after the Gray's/Torrey's traverse. Once above the treeline, we pretty much hiked up the face to a ridge leading to summit. I remember seeing an old man leave the trail and climb up an extremely steep spur to the summit; I was very impressed.
